ClassicAra Chess Engine..World Record Download!!

[towforce]

Can any of our top testers give us an idea of when ratings will be available for ClassicAra, please?

I'm in the middle of a tournament, results are not particularly encouraging, I estimate around 2650 on CCRL blitz scale.

Thank you to yourself and the others who responded to my request.

It all depends on what version you will test 0.9.0 OR 0.9.2 post1, and if it is using CPU or GPU, but even on CPU version 0.9.0 it is around 3050

... even on CPU version 0.9.0 it is around 3050

Where do you get this information from?

OK ! Seems INT8 weights work now. I'll try a new test.

Does it needs to be downloaded again, and if so where is the newer link ?

It is my own estimate after testing ClassicAra 0.9.0 CPU version 100 games match versus Quazar 0.4 64bit rated 2901 by CCRL , the final result was 67 to to 33 in favor of ClassicAra 0.90 using 512 MB Hash TC 5'+2"

For me INT8 sometimes works, sometimes not. I use 0.9.0 because I am incapable of compiling the newer ones from the sources.
More specifically, I managed to start a game using the INT8 setting. Then I told it to resume my interrupted tournament and it did not move and it was not loaded into memory.

Also, it is not clear if I should use the net that is packaged with the engine or one of the separately downloadable nets (of which one is included in the engine package).

Oh, and I just noticed that it used all my free cores despite being told to run single core.

EDIT: The Cute Chess GUI cannnot initialize the engine if it is set to INT8.

I have used both, currently using the latest riser 3 version.

My new test (versus the same Ktulu 9 like marker) will be with hash=512 MB (for each engine) and INTEL8 weights enabled !
